In nearly every discipline, our knowledge is incomplete. Gaps in knowledge and unresolved issues can be addressed only by raising pertinent questions and seeking relevant answers through methodical & focused enquiry. This is where research steps in. The term “research” as used in common parlance however has diverse meanings and implications for different people. While we all are familiar with the term; few of us can fathom the fact that research is not merely finding a piece of information or making notes and documenting it as a paper but a systematic process. It is in effect a process that entails - systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of information for furthering an in-depth understanding in a given discipline.
Since research

They are unable to manage time effectively. They end up setting unrealistic targets for themselves and in the event of failure lose motivation to pursue the given task with zeal and enthusiasm. Further, some researchers work at part-time jobs and/or are engaged in time consuming extra-curricular activities at the university. At times heavy load of executive work leaves one with insufficient time for research
Lack of funds
Lack of funds and financial assistance is a potential barrier in continuing research. If the research requires the procurement of sophisticated instruments or going for field study to distant places then it might become difficult for the researcher to do so in the absence of any financial assistance. Further, publishing in international journals also involves investment in terms of money and time. In case the researcher is planning to pursue research in foreign countries, inability to secure funding /financial assistance also poses a barrier to research.
Lack of Technical Prowess & Technology

The system lacks the ability to distinguish between original research and fraudulent or redundant work which affects researchers’ motivation to undertake new and pioneering research. Furthermore performance evaluation based simply on quantity of research discourages researchers from undertaking original research. As a result researchers prefer to work on simple subjects and do repetitive and imitative research and focus on quantity.
In addition to this lack of proper connection with other research organizations also functions as a barrier in doing quality research as there is insufficient access to scientific references (libraries, scientific database subscriptions, full text articles, documents, etc.) or possibility of exchange programs.
Research Expertise Oriented Barrier
Researchers work under the supervision of their supervisors/ Research Mentors. Supervisors at times take it easy. Instead of helping and guiding researchers supervisors at times might impose their work/other research work on
Not just any research can be trusted. Research needs to be very extensive so that the researcher can compile the data. During my evidenced based practice course, I learned the difference between facilities quality improvement goals versus research. This may include topics such as nosocomial infections. I also learned the difference between qualitative and quantitative research.
One is to “articulate the research problem and objectives”. Two is to “develop the overall research plan”. Three is to “collect the data or information”. Four is to “analyze the data or information”. Five is to “present or disseminate the findings”.
However, the success of researchers has been limited as the
Junior year was a bit challenging for me. It was not challenging because of the work, but I joined a career program. I had to keep up with both of my schools. For me to be successful with so many things going on, I had to stay organized and think ahead. My success was that I kept all my grades above a C+.
What is Research? It is a careful investigation of a problem in a scientific manner, especially to search for new facts in any side of knowledge. And it is searching for theory or opinion for testing them or for solving issues. And a scientific way for answering questions and testing hypotheses.
1. Define research, nursing research, and evidence-based practice, and describe the purposes of research in implementing an evidence-based practice. Research is investigating and studying of materials and sources to establish facts and reach new conclusions or to report knowledge about something. Research can also mean to validate something that already exists based on some kind of theory.
College is an important and new experience for many people including myself. Coming into college I think a lot of people have small mindsets including myself towards what takes place. As Robert Frost said “we come to college to get over our little mindedness.” I agree with statement currently being a freshman in my first semester of college. College in general is a life changing experience that comes with a lot of life lessons.
Poverty is a crippling situation which can stagnate the development of individuals. Insufficiency in a society can affect persons in more ways than one. Those experiencing a substandard way of living may not be able to obtain quality education which can cause a lack of sufficient employment. Lower paying jobs will more than likely not include quality health insurance for the employee.
Part 1 Explain why it is important for nurses to use credible and relevant evidence to underpin their clinical practice. (Justify and support answers with credible and relevant evidence whilst adhering to UWS referencing guidance). The role of nurse changes as new research emerges and finds new and improved ways of helping patients to be restored to health. As Aveyard and Sharp (2016) suggested, evidence based practice requires that the approach is clear but also up to date and it based on the best type of evidence available at the point in time. The Nursing and Midwifery Council Code (2015) is to always provide the best possible service related to the best available evidence that is also in line with the patient’s preferences.

Research philosophy Research philosophy lay down the background of how researchers understand the world, the choice of research philosophy reflect our knowledge, experiences, preconceptions, and research capability. Thus our knowledge, experiences and etc., which underpin the philosophy choice, will determine our research paradigm, strategy, design and method. (Saunders et al., 2009, p. 128-129).
This method also refers to the major component of understanding the qualitative aspects of data that has been assimilated for analysis and can give a better understanding of the facts when analyzed
Chapter two; Literature Review The entire research journey is based on few important steps which can also be recognized as research process involving certain measures; to be carried out effectively. This process includes (Library, 2015); 1. Framing of a particular research question 2. searching and examining the relevant literature studies 3. Management of the accumulated search data 4.
PROCRASTINATION, a deep and wide disease in a moral nature Procrastination is a thief of precious brilliant ideas and time, an enemy of progress. It is the irrational delay of creativity against your own best interest for a short or extended period, making you more sensitive to pleasure of the moment, and creating great difficulties in concentrating on long-term tasks. The beauty of procrastination is its ubiquity. Everyone procrastinates from time to time, but not everyone is a procrastinator.
Without research, people will continue suffering from epidemics and diseases that are difficult to treat. The importance of science is that it creates an opportunity for scientists to seek further knowledge that can help them understand how diseases work. For example, the cure for HIV/AIDS can only be found, if scientists continue conducting research on how the virus operates and how it can be treated. It is of great importance that research efforts are well-funded and that researchers receive the support they need to ensure that research efforts are successful. The information collected from proper research is helpful to all health professionals in the provision of targeted and well-informed treatment plans that meet the needs of the
